What We Offer at Apogee HoCo

Apogee HoCo serves homeschool families who want more than traditional schooling. We partner with parents to prepare young people not just for college or careers — but for life.

We develop young leaders and equip families to thrive together.

Our Approach to Education

At Apogee, education is hands-on, discussion-driven, and rooted in real-world application.

We combine:

- Experiential, project-based learning that builds practical life skills

- Socratic guiding to develop critical thinking and confident communication

- Leadership development through responsibility and ownership

- Mixed-age learning communities that mirror real life

- Self-paced progression instead of one-size-fits-all grade levels

- Intentional outdoor time to cultivate resilience, health, and creativity

Our campus is designed as a microcosm of life — a place where young leaders practice decision-making, problem-solving, collaboration, and character development in a safe but challenging environment.

Learning culminates in public presentations of mastery, not standardized tests. Students demonstrate what they can build, communicate, and lead — not just what they can memorize.

Program Structure

Our academic year runs from September through June and is organized around (5) bi-monthly themes.

Build the Culture and Define Your Code

Goal Setting

Building Good Habits

Growth Mindset

Overcoming Obstacles

- We intentionally schedule breaks about every six weeks

- Breaks allow time for reflection, integration, family travel, and rest

This rhythm supports both high engagement and meaningful family time throughout the year.

Designed for Growth-Oriented Families

We are not in the business of manufacturing standardized results. Apogee is a partnership formed around mutual standards, shared responsibility, and a commitment to growth.

We seek parents who will commit to personal growth and who desire to model leadership, responsibility, and lifelong learning at home. Education is most powerful when the adults are growing, too.

To support full-family development, parents in our community will receive complimentary access to Apogee Strong’s 12-month men’s and women’s programs. These intentional programs connect families across Apogee campuses nationwide and provide coaching for continuous growth, collaboration, and support.

When children see their parents growing, everything changes!

Is Apogee HoCo the Right Fit for Your Family?

Enrollment at Apogee HoCo is about alignment. We are seeking a strong mutual fit — for your family and for our community.

Our trial day process is designed to ensure this is a true win-win for everyone involved.

Step 1: Initial Conversation

After your initial call with our team, you will receive the necessary information and paperwork to move forward with scheduling your child’s trial day.

Step 2: Student Trial Day

Your child will spend a full campus day experiencing:

- Project-based learning

- Goal setting and academic work

- Socratic discussion

- Mixed-age community interaction

- Responsibility & Cleanup

- Our daily structure and rhythm

This allows your child to experience Apogee firsthand — not just hear about it.

Step 3: Final Family Meeting

Following the trial day, we will schedule an in-person meeting with your family.

This meeting allows us to:

- Share observations from the trial day

- Answer any remaining questions

- Address concerns or hesitations

- Confirm mutual alignment before enrollment

Our goal is clarity and confidence for both sides before moving forward.

Each day on campus is thoughtfully divided into four blocks of 1-2-1-2 hours (see image).  Your child will learn to lead themselves by setting goals, owning their growth, and stepping into the responsibility that builds lasting confidence and independence.

Our adults on campus serve as Apogee Coaches.  Through daily modeling, intentional mentorship, and carefully curated structure, they create the environment where real growth happens. Your child is supported, challenged, and empowered every step of the way.

Yes — our full projected calendar is available for you to review.

The 2026–2027 campus year begins on the Tuesday after Labor Day and concludes on Thursday, June 17, 2027.

The built-in breaks serve an important purpose. They allow students to:

- Rest and recharge

- Reflect on what they’ve accomplished

- Spend meaningful time with family

- Return energized and ready for the next challenge

This rhythm supports sustained excellence rather than burnout.

Our goal is to maintain high standards while cultivating genuine excitement about learning. The atmosphere on campus blends focused discipline — similar to a martial arts tradition — with the energy, camaraderie, and adventure of summer camp.

Our young leaders work hard.
They grow stronger.
And they look forward to coming back.

The Apogee Code is a code of ethics that all members of our community commit to live by:

INTEGRITY

"Integrity is the choice between what's convenient and whats right." - Tony Dungy

I will make good on my dealings with others. I will be a self-controlled leader, denying myself any privileges which could potentially derail my credibility. I will not waiver or compromise on what is true and right.

BRAVERY

My ideals will not waiver in the face of danger. I will stand up for what is right, and will not compromise, no matter who the enemy, and, especially when the enemy is myself.

COMPASSION

"If you want others to be happy, practice compassion. If you want to be happy, practice compassion." - Dalai Lama

I will have a countenance of generosity, sympathy, and forgiveness. Compassion serves others, even to the discomfort of self. A change to help others is an opportunity to change the very direction of humanity.

HONESTY

"Befriend the man who is brutally honest, for honesty is the highest form of respect. - Daniel Saint

My word is my bond, and that bond cannot be broken. In an age where contracts and handshakes are marginalized, I am Apogee Strong, committed to my word at all costs.

POLITENESS

"A polite gentleman is indeed one who puts more into this world than he takes out." - George Bernard Shaw

Extending politeness to all and utilizing good manners is a chance to honor those who have come before me, as well as inspire those who come after me. respect is gained by the consistent manner with which I deal with people, so I will deal with them accordingly.

HONOR

"The greatest way to live with honor in this world is to be who we pretend to be." - Socrates

I will have a dignity of worthiness in all of my work, my cause, and my purpose. My transparency in leadership and principled living will be evident in public and in private.

LOYALTY

"Nothing is more noble, nothing more venerable, than loyalty." - Cicero

I am loyal to myself, my cause, my family, my friends and to the betterment of society through the daily living of the Apogee Code. I take personal responsibility for my decisions and actions, as well as their correlating results.

We will have a full-time coaching staff that will lead and facilitate learning on campus.

There will be volunteer opportunities for parents, but the primary responsibility of running our campus rests on our highly capable Apogee HoCo coaching staff.

Yes! At Apogee HoCo, we want to help aligned families join our community and have access to this one-of-a-kind education, regardless of income.

There are currently two main forms of financial support.

1. Apogee Foundation Scholarship Application

Once your financial aid amount is determined, we ask families to apply for the Apogee Foundation Scholarship to help cover the adjusted membership balance. These scholarships are awarded through the Foundation directly and are no automatically renewed from year to year.

2. Apogee Payments

Families are able to raise their own scholarships by having your business or a business you know switch their point of sale for credit card processing over to Apogee Payments. You would then direct the portion of the credit card fee to our campus, Apogee HoCo, building your own scholarship.

Businesses using Apogee Payments for point of processing, provides leadership, education and life skills training for children and their families without a single dollar being taken from your previous business operations.

If you or somebody you know is a business owner, please ask us to setup a call to Apogee Payments with no obligation on the backend. Take the call for the upside and say no if it doesn't look right for you.

We want this to make sense from your business and community support perspective to create a win / win without a single dollar changing from your bottom line.

Apogee HoCo is hiring a full time coach to lead our project based, Socratic discussion classrooms on campus.

We are looking for those who remind us of our favorite coaches and teachers growing up. Do you have a heart for serving children, experience connecting with them, seeing them as a unique individual to inspire and empower on their own path of leadership, personal development and education?

If Yes - We currently have openings for full-time coaches.

Please send us an email at info@ApogeeHoCo.org if you are interested in leading Apogee students on their Education, Leadership and Personal Development as our Coach.
